Any issues with changing our default branches in GitHub

These days many git repos are changing their default branch from “master” to “main”. I’m 99.9% sure that this won’t affect plugin manager builds since we specify branch and commit-sha for the build already. True?

When I submit an update to the plugin manager, I identify only a commit hash.

As far as I can tell, the plugin manager neither knows nor cares about branches, default or otherwise.

No problems from my side…

You can call your branches whatever you like: master, main, v1, dev, release, etc. and it won’t affect VCV Library builds because as @dhemery says, submodule commits are specified by commit hashes, not branch names.
